Answer:

Explanation:

Algebraic equations are mathematical equations that contain unknown variables.

To get Equation B from Equation A, we add/subtract the same quantity to/from both sides. Option A is the correct option.

Equation A is equivalent to Equation B

Question 1: We are given equation A as:

2x - 1 = 5x .............Equation A

To get Equation B from A, we would subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.

2x - 2x - 1 = 5x - 2x

- 1 = 3x This is Equation B

Question 2: Based on the previous answer,

2x - 1 = 5x is equal to -1 = 3x.

Hence, both Equation A and Equation B are equivalent expressions.

Therefore,

To get Equation B from Equation A, we add/subtract the same quantity to/from both sides. Option A is the correct option.

Equation A is equivalent to Equation B
